Run Mario Party birthday complete with giant game board and mini games
host a book editing event for the next Schlock book. this was moved to Wednesday night.
Either collapse in a heap or have a couple friends over to celebrate surviving the week. This might be a good time to haul out our “Give Me the Brain” card game because I’ll surely feel like a zombie before the week is out.
Only Tuesday and Saturday are insanely overbooked, The whole week is booked solid. I’m going to have to run in high gear this week to get it all done. Particularly because some of those days which seem empty will actually be full of getting ready for the overbooked days. Already filled them up.
I’ve got to figure out how to run a giant Mario Party game with 7 boys aged ten as the live game pieces. Usually I don’t do complex parties for kids. But it has been several years since Link has had a party at all and he has been positively glowing while planning this event.
And there will certainly be more Schlock book work to be done. There are always odds and ends to be taken care of.
